I guess we have to realise that the price you pay for using leading edge technology is that it will be constantly updated with newer models. For example - you buy a PIII 700 today, and in 2 months time you realise that the PIII 900 is out...why didn't you wait??? hehehe The only thing you can do is to buy when it suits you - and then be happy with what you bought. If you have the means, you upgrade when the selling price of the old model is still favourable, and the cost of the new model isn't too high (my PC philosophy - I try to trade up every year or so).
